French Bread with Jam | This Is Why I’m Full

The Hubby has been trying to make his own bread for about a year now and while it has always been tasty, since we got our KitchenAid Mixer it has been even better! The constant mixing means that it is much easier to knead the dough for the right amount of time, giving the dough the time to get airy and soft! We have posted the recipe for the bread already, but I figured why not post it again to show it’s versatility! You can put anything on this airy and delicious bread and it is always delicious!

This is a Homemade French Bread recipe that I make the night before I want to eat it. We recently bought a stand mixer, and the dough hook attachment is really a godsend when making bread.

It’s simple, all you need to do is activate your yeast and gradually add in the flour until it combines. Once it has incorporated it becomes one big ball in the mixer. At this point the bowl should be clean, with no dough or flour left on the rim. There should be a nice sheen on the bowl. I let it run for a good 7-10 minutes letting the dough fully incorporate and knead. Once the bread has been kneaded for a solid amount of time I leave it in the bowl and let it rise, once it doubles in size punch the dough back down and repeat 5 times, each time letting the dough double in size before knocking it back down.

Once I’ve let it rise a good amount I roll it out into rolls and slice the top of each loaf three times. Get a good 1/4 inch of penetration on each of the slices so the bread doesn’t split while baking. Mix the egg and water together and baste the top so you get a nice golden brown like you see in the photos.
